Custom Jacket (Part I) – The Spikes

Today I’m bringing you a very fashion idea for your wardrobe: how to add spikes to everything you find! – I just tried it in my periapt denim jacket and the results were just amazing!
Spikes are definitely in, so get some of them from eBay and start with this easy tutorial!

What you need:
-Spikes (Have a look here for cheap spikes )
-Scissors (The smaller, the better)
-Screwdriver (Look for one that fits on the back part of the spikes)
-Measuring tape / rule
-Pen

How to do it:
-Using the tape, mark with the pen the points where you want the spikes.
-Take the back part of a spike, and press it against the first mark (from under the cloth). Then, using the scissors, make a tiny cut just where the mark is. Be careful and try not to make it too big!
-Press the screw and make it pass through the hole.
-Screw the spike in with your hands,  then use the screwdriver.
-Repeat all the steps until all your clothes look like ACDC’s!.

See? It’s easy and it looks amazing! Yo definitely MUST do it!

Sharpie decorated mug. You must try this!

Hi there!

Yesterday I decided I didn’t have enough mugs at home, so I went out to buy a new one. But when I was on my way to the city centre, I thought about something I always wanted to do: decorating a mug with a sharpie (or other permanent pen). So I got to the nearest all-one-pound-store and got a simple white mug and a pack of 4 sharpies, all for less than 2 pounds.

And here’s the result!

Like it huh? Go on and you’ll know how to do it…

What you need:
– 
White mug
– Sharpie or other permanent marker
– Oven
– Alcohol
– Cotton or toilet paper.

How to do it:

– Draw something in the mug. If you make a mistake, just rub a bit of cotton with alcohol on it.
– Let it dry for half an hour.
– Put it in the oven, and switch it on. When it reaches 180ºC (350ºF), set the timer and let the mug inside for about 40 minutes.
– Take it out of the oven carefully …and IMPORTANT: don’t touch the ink while it’s hot, it will only be fixed when it’s cold.

Now you can use your mug, wash it and event put it in the dishwasher without worries!
You can also try this on a plate or bowl 🙂
Enjoy!

It's so easy to do!

It’s so easy to do!

Let’s get started then!

Hi there world citizens!

I started thinking of blogging ages ago, and ran various themed blogs which definitely didn’t work. The problem is I get tired of speaking about one single thing very easily, so here I am solving that problem by creating a mixed up blog.
First of all let me make a little presentation.

About me (in general). As you can see at my profile, I’m a spanish Model, Crafter, Fine Art student and Fashion lover. I’m live in Granada, where I was born, but I use to travel a lot . Maybe you know Granada, maybe you don’t. Anyway you should come, I consider it to be the most beautiful city in Spain (and believe me, I’m not saying this because it’s my hometown). It has really noticeable Arabic origins, which make it very special.

About travelling. My first grand travel had place when I was 6. My mom took me to the Sahara desert, which I consider the best trip in my life. Some years later (I think in 2002) my mom bought a nice motorhome so that we could travel a lot by spending just the minimum. The first years we went round Spain visiting loads of nice small towns , but then we got tired and started exploring the rest of Europe and some of Africa, up to 20 different countries!
Now I am always travelling. I’ve studied abroad with the Erasmus programme, and during my holidays, since 2 years ago, I work as a Cast Member in Disneyland Paris.

Now… here I am, back to studying until my new contract in Disneyland is signed (possibly during Easter 2013). Then I’ll come back again, but… not for long!

About crafts. I grew up watching Art Attack, and I think that was just the start of what I am today.

Now I make all kinds of stuff. From jewelry to notebooks, cardboard boxes or photo frames. In fact, I use to spend hours just thinking about what I’d love to do and which materials to use.

One year ago I learnt how to use my mom’s sewing machine, and I became a sewing addict, so you’ll see some sewing works in my blog – I promise!

About Fashion. I work as a model since 2011. I do catwalks, photography and advertising, and I just love it. I’ve melted with this fashion world and everyday I meet new designers, models and photogaphers around. I like being different and having a special style, I could say I am kind of a rocker, grunge hipster. I am a starting lookbooker.. have a look!
